Re: '69K10, Build/Help

The post above (#21) must have shown up by some kind of mistake, I'm not sure what its referencing.

Update on my project:

I have the motor out due to the lack of ability to lift the trans/transfr case up under the vehicle. I've mounted the trans assembly to the motor and plan to remove the grill and core support and install all of it in one piece from the front. However, after mating them all together today, the engine lift doesn't want to lift the transfer case off the floor since the assemble is soooo unbalanced and heavy.

two(ish) questions:

1. Does anyone think it would be wise to run a chain or come along between the output of the transfercase back to the engine lift so I could keep it level long enough to get it into the engine bay? Then I could get the transfer case on a dolly and blocks to get everything bolted down.
Also, does anyone have any idea of how much a small block, 4L60e and a NP205 weigh?

2. What is the best method for turning the torque converter to get the bolt holes lined up with the holes on the flex plate?

As always, thanks for any help
